In this paper we provide sufficient conditions, formulated in terms of weight combinatorics, for the existence of one-parameter additive actions on $X$ normalized by a Borel subgroup $B \\subset G$. As an application, we prove that every $G$-stable prime divisor in $X$ can be connected with the open $G$-orbit by means of a suitable $B$-normalized one-parameter additive action.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2022-07-10T10:20:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14R20", "14M27", "13N15" ], "keywords": [ "affine spherical varieties", "root subgroups", "irreducible affine algebraic variety", "sufficient conditions", "normalized one-parameter additive action" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
